If you look at CNC machining, it's as advanced as we can imagine it. Automated systems make it possible to achieve maximum productivity and implement minor adjustments with ease. However, CNC technology is just getting started. Here are five advanced CNC machining technologies possibly available soon.
Quin-Axis Drills
Virtually all CNC machines have tri-axis drills, which deliver efficient high-level work with dependable results. However, with a quad or quin-axis set, manufacturers can have high-level detailed cutting using a rotational axis. With this technology, automated micromachining becomes easily possible.
Advanced Software Integration
CAD and CAM software product affordability gave many machinists an edge against their competition. Plus, continuous support from developers and feedback from users has made many CAD and CAM software delivers intuitive workflows that integrate with advanced CNC machining.
Streamlined Universal Tooling
Universal tooling bases will phase out traditional custom-made vacuum fixtures and plates. With streamlined universal tooling, manufacturers can afford advanced multi-role components, such as vacuum tables and reusable soft jaws. In doing so, CNC machines can achieve the next stage of stability, reliability, and productivity.
Vision Systems
Robot vision is already an aged yet advanced technology. Smart vehicles, such as Tesla's electric Model S, have extensively used it to recognize cars and pedestrians. Implementing this technology allows teams to "teach" when to pick and place parts after it recognizes their models.
Operator Error Reduction
Added mechanical CNC machine integration makes it easy for humans to work alongside equipment and maintain a higher level of operating capability with the biggest margin of error reduction.
